49 - libptytty is now an external dependency.
50 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
51 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
52 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
53 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
54 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
55 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
56 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
57 mode to auto, never or always.
58 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
59 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
60 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
61 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
62 is now under frills.
63 - add manpage for urclock.
64 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
65 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
66 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
67 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
68 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
69 currently will warn about this.
70 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
71 them as zero-width characters.
72 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
73 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
74 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
75 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
76 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
77 xft with the character is configured.
78 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
79 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
80 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
81 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
82 some cases (e.g. input mono).
83 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
84 character shifts into account.
85 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
86 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
87 extensions.
88 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
89 sequence is received.
90 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
91 argument is greater than 0.
92 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
93 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
94 Stephen Talley).
95 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
96 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
97 loading.
98 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
99 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
100 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
101 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
102 font rendering.
103 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
104 almost everywhere.
105 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
106 when tic -x fails.
107 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
108 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
109 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
110 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
111 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
112 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
113 stylistic freedom.
114 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
115 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
116 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
117 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
118 can't lock the face.
119
1209.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
121 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
122 not packaged.
123
1249.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
125 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
126 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
127 urclock.
128 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
129 freebsd bug #234276.
130 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
131 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
132 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
133 bug 858385.
134 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
135 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
136 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
137 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
138 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
139 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
140 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
141 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
142 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
143 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
144 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
145 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
146 program can be used as a substitute).
147 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
148 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
149 fill and tint).
150 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
151 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
152 of autoloading perl extensions.
153 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
154 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
155 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
156 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
157 Roman Bogorodskiy.
158 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
159 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
160 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
161 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
162 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
163 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
164 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
165 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
166 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
167 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
168 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
169 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
170 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
171 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
172 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
173 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
174 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
175 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
176 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
177 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
178 us by ISO C++.
179 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
180 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
181 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
182 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
183 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
184
1859.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
186 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
187 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
188 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
189 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
190 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
191 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
192 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
193 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
194 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
195 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
196 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
197 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
198 Devin J. Pohly).
199 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
200 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
201 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
202 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
203 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
204 action now properly rebinds the key.
205 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
206 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
207 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
208 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
209 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
210 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
211 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
212 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
213 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
214 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
215 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
216 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
217 window.
218 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
219 to a key combination.
220 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
221 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
222 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
223
2249.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
225 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
226 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
227 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
228 same height but different ascent.
229 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
230 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
231 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
232 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
233 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
234 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
235 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
236 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
237 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
238 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
239 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
240 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
241 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
242 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
243 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
244 but not documented.
245 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
246 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
247 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
248 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
249 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
250 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
251 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
252 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
253 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
254 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
255 associated to a matched pattern.
256 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
257 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
258 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
259 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
260 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
261 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
262 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
263 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
264 by Thomas Otto).
265 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
266 way properly.
267 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
268 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
269 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
270 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
271 #830236.
272 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
273 window/popup has been destroyed already.
274 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
275 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
276 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
277 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
278 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
279 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
280 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
281 simpler and actually more correct code.
282 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
283 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
284 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
285 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
286 frame buffers).
287 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
288 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
289 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
290
2919.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
292 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
293 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
294 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
295 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
296 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
297 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
298 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
299 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
300 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
301 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
302 the CLIPBOARD selection.
303 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
304 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
305 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
306 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
307 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
308 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
309
3109.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
311 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
312 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
313 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
314 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
315 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
316 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
317 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
318 function.
319 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
320 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
321
3229.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
323 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
324
3259.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
326 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
327 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
328 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
329 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
330 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
331 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
332 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
333 Münnich).
334 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
335 are disabled.
336
3379.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
338 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
339 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
340 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
341 Hemmer).
342 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
343 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
344 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
345 patch by Jan Larres).
346 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
347 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
348 as diagnosed by clang.
349 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
350 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
351 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
352 nickfailure@gmail.com).
353 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
354 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
355 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
356 for details.
357 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
358 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
359 which show up in -help etc.
360 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
361 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
362 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
363 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
364 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
365 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
366 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
367 - remove support for libafterimage.
368 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
369 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
370 libptytty instead.
371 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
372 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
373 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
374 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
375 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
376
3779.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
378 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
379 thinks thats an error.
380 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
381 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
382 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
383 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
384 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
385 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
386 and destination in composite operations.
387 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
388 for tabs.
389 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
390 Sung Pae).
391 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
392 - fix -C option on solaris.
393
